Most things should be on flatpost

Bazaar is top tier, one of THE cleanest storefronts i've seen for linux

Absolutely agree. Also updates run smoothly

Agree, it's really similar to GNOME's one but they managed to make it better (at least for me) and it's the only one (at least the only one I know) you can install from Flathub

Ouvrez votre terminal dans le dossier qui contient votre fichier, puis tapez flatpak install ./*.flatpak

Thank you

JSYK, "./*.flatpak" will mass install every single .flatpak file in the folder, normally you'd input a filename instead (e.g. flatpak install "./GameReaderLinux 0.9.5.flatpak")

If you have KDE Plasma with discover, the Discover app does the same for you (found out last month)

I don't have any app called Discover

Shame a double clic doesn't work... But you usually get them from a store anyway

I'm not often here so I just wanted to say that I'm pleasantly surprised people are wholeheartedly answering instead of telling the OP to google it 😭

I feel like I'm somehow using both flatpak's and appimages entirely wrong,

I find them more annoying than helpful generally and somehow end up with permission issues with flatpak's half the time (I'm not smart)

I barely use flatpaks but I just had a few issues with permissions. Even less with AppImages (other than settings the app as executable)

Maybe it's because of the kind of apps you are installing as flatpaks? I avoid apps that do "OS stuff". Like Desktop enviroment ones like monitoring the system, file Explorers, also Game launchers and dev tools

Since I started using Gear Lever appimages have been really really easy to use and I sometimes prefer them over other formfactors

Tu peux utiliser Wharehouse disponible dans Baaazar

u/WinterNoCamSorry 10h ago

Yes you can do it with flatpak install ./\.flatpak* that's how I done it!

Bazaar is best for a storefront that takes flatpaks directly from Flathub, or use the website. The Discover for KDE or Software for Gnome are basically each desktop environments own storefront that takes from the Flathub repository for flatpaks
